For DRIVER_LEGACY this code all still needs to work, without there ever being a drm_crtc. If you try to squeeze kms and non-kms paths into one function that will be seriously ugly, and a complete maintenance pain. Copypasting is imo the sound approach here. That way we can let the old non-kms code rot unchanged until it's really dead. > Unrelated to the vblank discussion: This functionality is pretty > similar to what happens on suspend/resume. Any chance we can share?
